If you're looking for a remote camping option, this is the place! My college-age daughter & I stayed at a handful of places over the course of a week, and this was our favorite.
We had a convenient parking spot right in the driveway and a short walk along a winding path to get to the campsite. Once at the campsite, we didn't feel as though we were in someone's backyard, which is precisely what we were seeking. Cecilia was super helpful in advance of and during our stay, but we were otherwise left to ourselves to enjoy the great outdoors. We will definitely be visiting again when we are in the Ashland area.

The trail leading up to this spot is a quick walk, but it is not an easy one, especially while carrying things. It is very steep dirt that makes you take little baby steps coming down so you don't slip. Additionally, it was very narrow since the side of the path has a lot of poison oak on it. I was extremely paranoid I was going to get it on myself or my gear. It was the most poison oak I had seen anywhere people pay to go to. If they weren't going to remove it, they could have at least spray painted it so it was all very visible. The campsite itself was nice enough, but the surrounding area where I would go to pee had some more spots of poison oak. The toilet is a toilet bucket with a bag inside, so it wasn't ideal for peeing. Mostly just there in case of a number two emergency. Also a lot of mosquitoes, but bug spray was kindly provided.

The site is about 100 yards through a steep ravine on a narrow, steep path surrounded by poison oak. There is no water at the site. The level area was not large enough for our 4 person tent. The "porta-pottie" is actually a 5 gallon bucket with a plastic seat and a plastic bag to catch the waste. The bag was more than half full when we arrived. There is a large industrial cannabis grow just uphill from the site which makes noise (music, cars, talking) at all hours.

Beautiful setting. Cecilia was accommodating and helpful making sure we were all set up with what we needed (even after a later than expected arrival by us).

It was a very easy process once I met Cecilia! She showed me how to get to the meadow and where to get water, and gave me some delicious, fresh chicken eggs. We didn't cross paths for the rest of the weekend, but she was very responsive and helpful, and I got to meet her dog and goats. Google maps was not very helpful when finding the place -- the road goes much farther than the map shows. So just remember the address and make sure to stay on the main dirt road (sometimes private driveways look like the main road). And AT&T gets very little to no reception up there so plan accordingly. Verizon works fine. I would highly recommend!

Great simple accommodations for the price point… Not too far off the five freeway. I will say that hiking to the camp spot was a little unanticipated. If you have a lot of gear it’s definitely gonna be a hassle to get it to and from the campsite. In my head I was expecting to pull up and camp out of the car, but again this is somewhere between a hike in and drive up spot. It’s a pretty steep ravine, may be difficult for older or disabled folks to make it. There was enough space for two tents, definitely plenty more for hammocks. Once at the site, it is fairly private and serene.

Secluded spot in the woods at the base of the foothills. There was lots of space. Its mostly sloped, so you can only pitch a tent on the the flat surface they made. Its not that large, so big tents wont work. Think queen sized bed dimensions as being about too big. There was a table and two chairs. You can eat there under the stars

Cedar meadow was the perfect safe space as I made the 2-day trek down from Seattle to San Francisco. It was not too far off the freeway and safe and so quite and peaceful. Cecilia was welcoming and sweet. Was perfect for what I needed.

Cute little spot. Close to the freeway makes road trip easy, but still can hear it off in the distance. Lovely host.

Couldn’t have been easier. On a midpoint stop between Portland and Oakland had a great night stargazing. Quiet and peaceful and perfect.

The site was beautiful and private. The tent space is in enough shade that you won't wake up to a boiling sun, but it is right in front of a clearing so you can see the stars all night!! There wasn't a pond as noted, but during a drought that is to be expected. There were beautiful goats, a friendly dog, and cute lizards wandering about.
We weren't able to get the stovetop we rented, so we had to buy food in town. I suggest bringing food that doesn't need to be cooked and/or reminding the host about this before you go because you might not get to meet the host (we didn't) to pick up these items. We ended up spending quite a bit more than expected because of this.

Cedar Meadow
Lovely little spot off the beaten path. We enjoyed the sound of the birds and the tire swing. Will definitely stop again if we ever come through the area.

This is a beautiful spot. Be aware that the meadow has foxtails and ticks. Check your dogs carefully and yourselves and don’t allow them to walk around is my advice

This was a perfect spot for me and my daughter along our road trip. It is close enough to the freeway to be convenient, yet feels far away and peaceful. Cecilia was so kind and we felt very safe.

Lovely location in a meadow w table and two chairs for your use. We watched the stars at night, it was great.
Fyi, There is a very short path which goes steeply downhill and uphill with poison oak along the path. I wore long pants and had no issues. Also, the toilet is a loo aka bucket set-up.
The host is very nice, very welcoming. I would highly recommend staying.

The walk from your parking spot to the campsite takes only 90 seconds, but those 90 seconds get you complete privacy in an isolated meadow with beautiful views over the hills. The only thing we heard was birdsong! This is a great place to camp, and Cecilia was very accommodating.

Had a wonderful time. Beautiful property, cute goats to pet and fantastic host(s). Would advise those with breathing difficulties to pack light, the path to the campsite is tough on the lungs.

Just what we expected! 3 wonderful days in nature, away from technology, social media, LA traffic. Loved the private site. No neighbors, no noise, no electricity. There is poison oak around the site and along the small trail but we were fine. FYI if you're allergic. Bring mosquito repellent. (Clove essential oil worked great for us). Our kids ages 11,9 and 3 learned a lot and had fun. Much needed family time with no distractions.

A lovely quiet spot up from the goats and away from the rumble of cars and traffic. I would definitely come this way again.

Staying on Cecilia's property was so delightful and she was able to accommodate us last minute when our other camping site fell through! She provided a porter-potty, bug spray, TP and farm fresh eggs! There's a tent spot and a table set up at the site which is a private field behind her home. If you have to carry a lot of equipment just be aware that there is a short trail that is slightly uphill from the driveway where you park. Also she has adorable baby goats but they can be loud, although they didn't bother us a bit! I would highly recommend staying here based off the location right off HWY 5 and close to Crater lake!

I absolutely loved this campsite! It's right behind the host's house, but it feels like a whole other world. It's very private and you get amazing views of the mountain, but it's right off of I-5. Overall a fantastic place to relax!

Cecilia is very nice and very accomodating. I arrived after dark, and she accompanied me to the spot, and showed me the basic layout. She has a hammock set up for those that want it (I definitely did), and it was very relaxing, softly swaying and watching the stars until I slipped into slumber.
